It would be a good idea to establish a permanent committee within each of the three granting councils, insofar as that is possible, so that this question of support for francophone researchers could be genuinely discussed.
As well, the federal government could help francophone researchers to get together and work jointly more, by ensuring collaboration in the francophone research field in Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, Manitoba and Alberta. At present, there is no mechanism to allow for such points where attachment and collaboration can occur.
